Application filed May 16, 1918, Serial No. 234,842. Renewed April 27,1921. Serial No. 464,907.

T 0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, GnoRGn Il. Prnussn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, and whosepost-oliice address is 120 So. St. Louis Ave., Chicago, Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to mops.

An object of my invention is to produce an article of this characterconsisting of the least number of parts and which will have greatestsimplicity together with the necessary endurance to meet the usual usageto which such an article is subjected.

Further objects and advantages will be apparent upon reading thefollowing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawingsforming a part of this application, and in which- Figure l is aperspective view of the mop embodying my invention; and

Fig. 2 is a section through the line 2-2 of F i0. l.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that my device consists of ahorizontal carrier plate l with a two-ply flange extending upwardlytherefrom. This flange consists of a ply 2 and a ply 3 with the openingeX- tending downwardly. It is preferred that this flange should bevertical or substantially so. Near the center of the carrier plate l isa raised port-ion 4 to which the' handle socket 5 is connected. Thissocket is connected by means of integral portions l6 extending through.the plate l and bent so as to hold the handle socket in place.

The handle socket is made of a single piece A of metal having twomembers 7 attached to the plate l and a tubular portion 8 for thehandle. This tubular portion 8 is threaded at 9 so that the handle whichis likewise screw-threaded, may be screwed into the socket.

The mop itself may be of the usual construction. The upper part of' themop is placed between the plies 2 and 3 which are afterward pressedtogether so as to hold the mop in place by friction. The flange extendsentirely around the plate. as does likewise the mop which is heldbetween the plies of the flange.

The head is provided with a series of holes l1 around the circumferencethereof and near where the liange projects upwardly from the plate.These holes are provided for the purpose of Vpermitting polishingVmaterial to pass therefrom into contact with the mop material hangingdownwardly from the flange.

From the foregoing description, it will be evident that my device asillustrated in the drawings comprises only three part-s; the headcomprising the carrier plate and the integral flange; the handle socket,and the mop.

Patented N 0V. 29, 1921.

It will also be apparent that the device is of substantial character,easily manufactured and capable of withstanding the necessary hard usageto which articles of this character are subjected.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

In a device of the character described, the combination of a circularmop head of sheet metal comprising a carrierV plate provided with anupst-anding portion extending therearound, said portion being integralwith said plate, and a depending flange integrally' connected with theupper edge of said upstanding portion and a mop extending around saidportion and clamped between it and said flange.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.

GEORGE L. PERUSSE.
